Obama Admin’s Interior Dept Clears Way for ALEC Fracking Bill

No Comments on Obama Admin’s Interior Dept Clears Way for ALEC Fracking Bill

From Steve Horn’s latest investigative piece at DeSmogBlog.com:

As part of its 171-page document of rules, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), part of the U.S. Dept. of Interior (DOI), revealed it will adopt the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) model bill written by ExxonMobil for fracking chemical fluid disclosure on U.S. public lands.

ALEC is a 98-percent corporate-funded bill mill and “dating service” that brings predominantly Republican state legislators and corporate lobbyists together at meetings to craft and vote on “model bills” behind closed doors. Many of these bills end up snaking their way into statehouses and become law in what Bill Moyers referred to as “The United States of ALEC.”

Steve Horn will be joining us this Saturday on TMI. Keep up with him.
